Hanover recently welcomed its 1,000th public charging point: enercity has put the new charging station into operation at Stephansplatz in the southern part of the city. The expansion is part of the concession agreement between the energy supplier and the city, which has been in place since 2018 and has resulted in one of the most modern urban charging infrastructures in Germany. Today, enercity operates a total of 888 AC and 112 DC fast charging points; by the end of 2026, the number of inner-city charging points is expected to rise to around 1,300. “E-mobility is the new normal,” says Aurélie Alemany, CEO of enercity AG. “The task now is to further develop smart products such as dynamic charging tariffs. They make climate-friendly mobility more attractive and at the same time promote grid-friendly charging and the integration of renewable energies.”
Hanover has the best charging ratio in Germany: Thanks to continuous expansion, Hanover is one of the cities with the best-developed public charging infrastructure in Germany. Currently, there are only 8.6 electric cars per public charging point in the state capital – a top value among major German cities. Only Stuttgart has a similarly low ratio, at 9.5. In Berlin, the ratio is 12.2 vehicles per charging point, and in Hamburg it is 16.9; the national average is 16.7. Hanover’s mayor, Belit Onay, sees the expansion as an important step in the local transport transition: “We have been working consistently for many years to promote electric mobility. Today, we have around 160 electric vehicles in the municipal fleet, and one of the oldest public charging stations has been in front of the town hall for over twelve years – also from enercity.”
In Hanover, enercity is currently testing dynamic prices for spontaneous ad hoc charging together with its partner ev-pay. The pilot project aims to provide insights for a more flexible and grid-friendly design of the charging infrastructure.
